Full-time: Bayern 5-0 Hoffenheim

Bayern consolidate top spot at the halfway stage of the season with a crushing win. They were unplayable from start to finish and go into the final 17 matches of 2024/25 with a four-point cushion over defending champions Leverkusen. Hoffenheim, meanwhile, drop into the relegation play-off spot on goal difference.

Backs to the wall

Hoffenheim with more defending to do as Gnabry sends a deflected shot wide. Baumann deals with two successive corners as the fourth official's board goes up to indicate three added minutes, with Bayern back on the ball and chasing a sixth...

Baumann save!

Hoffenheim's skipper prevents Olise firing in a sixth Bayern goal with only the keeper to beat. Geiger completes the clearance.

Musiala on

Something else for the Hoffenheim defence to think about as Musiala replaces Müller. The visitors have not long made a change of their own, with Kadeřábek on for Gendrey at right-back.
76'

Free header!

Olise turns provider this time with a corner that finds Dier. He connects with a downward header, but Baumann is able to tip the ball over.
74'

Olise on the turn!

Guerreiro chips a pass onto the chest of Olise in the Hoffenheim box. The Bayern sub spins on a sixpence and shoots goalwards, but a white shirt gets in the way.
70'

Neuer called on

The Bayern skipper dives to his left to push Becker's stinging 18-yard strike over the crossbar. That was his first save of the night!
68'

Sané hooked

He won't get his hat-trick, but the Bayern forward is treated to warm applause from the home faithful after a superb two-goal display. Olise is on for the remainder...
66'

Instant impact!

Bayern make it five. Guerreiro is the architect, the full-back drifting inside and feeding Davies in the box. A defender takes the chance away from the Canadian, but in doing so only helps it on for Gnabry to slot home from close range.

Worth a go!

Kimmich receives a pass from Sané on the edge of the area. He smartly touches the ball away from Nsoki, before sending a rising left-footed drive over the bar.

Acrobatic effort!

Kane with an audacious overhead-kick, but it's not the cleanest strike and Baumann is able to make a routine save.

Baumann to the rescue

Chaves plays his goalkeeper into danger, the Hoffenheim defender effectively passing straight to Kane. The Bayern man shoots goalwards, but Baumann is alert to the danger and makes the block.

Half-time: Bayern 3-0 Hoffenheim

As one-sided as you like in Munich, where Bayern lead Hoffenheim 3-0 thanks to Sané, Guerreiro and Kane goals. It could have been more and, at this rate, probably will be.
45'

Close!

Sané races away down the right and sends over a teasing cross that's got just too much on it for Coman. The Hoffenheim defence went AWOL there...
42'

Goal-saving challenge

Coman collects from Kimmich and darts into the Hoffenheim area. The Frenchman goes to shoot after dancing past Chaves, but Akpoguma steams in from nowhere to clear.
42'

Samassékou replaced

The Hoffenheim midfielder is taken off after pulling up for the second time. A starter at the weekend, Prass is his replacement.
37'

Stoppage

There's a break in play as Samassékou stays down after stretching to stop Kane getting on the end of a cross. The physios are on, but a thumbs-up suggests he'll try to run it off.

Unsurprisingly, they're all Bayern players. The record champions are really in the mood today.

Kane sweeps in his 16th Bundesliga goal of the season, the Bayern striker sending Baumann the wrong way from 12 yards. Surely no way back for Hoffenheim now...?

Guerreiro drifts in off the right, causing all kinds of problems for the TSG defence. He helps it on to Müller, but the Bayern veteran's cross is cleared.

Right idea

Bayern attack again with Davies. He crosses for Kane, who heads straight at Baumann. Hoffenheim need to get a semblance of a grip on this, before the game runs away from them.

Deadlock broken

Sané smashes an unstoppable effort into the far corner after a quick exchange of passes with Müller, but that all came about after some poor play out of defence from Hoffenheim. This could be a long night for the Sinsheim strugglers...

This is ominous for Hoffenheim. They're being penned into their own half as Bayern lay siege to Baumann's goal. Were it not for an offside decision against Kane just now, they would have been in for the game's first real scoring chance.

Pressure of a different kind

Bayern have Leverkusen breathing down their necks, with only a point between the top two following the defending champions' 1-0 win over Mainz. Hoffenheim, meanwhile, are looking nervously over their shoulders at the drop zone. They're just a point above the relegation play-off spot and only two clear of the bottom two.

More on those teams

Kompany has Musiala back on the bench following injury, while Upamecano, Guerreiro, Pavlović and Coman are cycled in for Kim, Laimer, Goretzka and Olise, respectively. Ilzer also makes four changes, starting in the full-back positions, where Gendrey and Akpoguma come in. Geiger replaces Stach in midfield, and there's a starting debut for striker Yardımcı at the expense of Orban.

Fortress

Bayern Munich are the only Bundesliga team not to have lost a home game this season. Their record at the Allianz Arena stands at six wins and a draw (1-1 against Leverkusen on Matchday 5).

camera-professional-play-symbol

Reason to believe

Hoffenheim won none of their first 17 Bundesliga clashes with Bayern, but since April 2017, they have recorded five wins in 15 games against the Bavarians. Only Mönchengladbach have beaten the record champions more often (six times).

One-man show

Harry Kane has been involved in as many goals (15 goals, five assists) as all of Hoffenheim's players combined (20).
camera-photo

Waiting for the click

Hoffenheim won their first game under Christian Ilzer (4-3 against RB Leipzig), but have not won in eight competitive games in a row, including five Bundesliga outings. The Kraichgauers have only 14 points after 16 match days, which is ten points less than at the same point last season.

Spot-kick king

Haary Kane has converted his last 26 penalties for Bayern Munich, Tottenham and England (including 17 for Bayern). Kane's last missed penalty was for his country, in the 2022 World Cup quarter-final against France (1-2).
camera-photo

Kramarić has the knack

With eight goals in 15 Bundesliga clashes with Bayern, Hoffenheim's Andrej Kramarić has scored more goals against Bayern Munich than any other currently active player.

Experience

This match will feature three players who have made more Bundesliga appearances than any other currently active players: Bayern's Manuel Neuer (513) and Thomas Müller (489) and Hoffenheim's Oliver Baumann (477).

Christian Ilzer on Bayern

"They're in great shape, currently the best team in Germany. They know how to create enormous pressure in all phases of the game. Everything we do must be done as one and with great conviction. We have to take the tempo out of Bayern’s game and we can't allow them to get into a flow. W'll need to defend very well, both collectively and individually. But we also want to bring our game onto the pitch and not just be passive.”

Vincent Kompany on Hoffenheim

"They have a new coach who did well previously. I have great respect for what he did with Sturm Graz in Austria, breaking Salzburg's dominance. But we're playing at home and have the clear goal of wanting to win."
